Disco (?) song Music
This is gonna be really vague but there was this radio station were I live that played mostly 70/80s music, unfortunately they changed it to mostly play more recent stuff so I haven't been able to find it. I can't remember any lyrics but it was kind of disco-y and had a sound effect somewhat like the one that first plays at about 1:54 in this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fscXE-GQYI
Song Music
Few days ago I went in a little cinema in the next town, where there were small auditions between prize giving to students. One audition caught my eye (or rather ear? :P), I recorded it and since then I am trying to find the song the girl was singing. I tried Shazam and other music searching apps, but none were able to find it. I would try searching by the lyrics but English isn't my first language and I can't understand them. Can you please help me out? :)

2000s rock music video Music
Anyone know what song this is? I know it from a Fan Vid but can't find the video. I've only seen the official video a few times, so my memory is shady...
All I remember is it was from a relatively well-known American (?) rock band circa 2002-2009. I am pretty sure the plot revolves around a woman getting pregnant and her boyfriend/husband being put in jail. It wasn't "Blurry", that I know.
Edit: Found it. "Seize the Day" by Avenged Sevenfold.

Music video before movie? Music
I went to a movie (Fairly recently) and part of the previews/before-show things was a music video. It featured a girl in a wheat/grain field singing, interrupted by scenes of a boy climbing in a forest. The girl was wearing a white t-shirt with black sleeves and the boy was wearing a similar shirt. The boy was much younger, and my friend and I argued about if the boy was a younger version of the girl or a separate person.
Song I randomly found on Facebook Music
So, I was scrolling through Facebook and this video came up of a compilation of doll hair transformations done by "The Royal Doll" it has a song playing and no one in the comments knows what it's called or who its by. It sounds a bit like Imagine Dragons, it has lyrics such as "You are the ghost (possibly girl or goal) you are the both of us. I'm searching on the surface, but there's a crater where you were" and "you cut the engines off but the radio still played on" Shazam can't pick it up and the audio was kinda bad so I had a hard time making out lyrics. Its probably some royalty Free music. It primarily used a guitar if that helps
Edit: didn't know I could post links, here's the video: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=223039778275893&id=163746667538538
Music Video Music
In the video, the female singer is getting ignored by her boyfriend who's just sitting on a couch playing video games. At the end of the video she crumples him up and throws him into a waste basket. Saw this on TV around 10 years ago.
Rock or metal song containing 'down and out'? Music
I feel like this is something really obvious I'll probably feel stupid for. There's some (probably well known) metal or harder alternative rock song containing the line "down and out" repeated a number of times. I know I'll know it when I see it. It's NOT Down by Stone Temple Pilots. Thanks.
music video intro - characters deliberately kept semi-out-of-frame Music
I saw a music video on a Pop Up Video episode once: The only thing I remember is a Talky Bookends intro that had one odd detail - there were two characters, a man and a woman, talking, but their faces were kept deliberately out of frame... in fact I seem to recall that all the audience saw of them was been their hands and arms, so the scene was mainly dialogue punctuated with hand gestures. The pop-up captions claimed this was an odd loophole used to cut down on the budget: Apparently it had cost less to hire two hand-models and two voice-actors than to just have two actors appear on screen. My guess is that this was a video from the 80's.
CGI heavy metal alien abduction music video Music
Don't laugh, but I remember this one music video that I saw online when I was little that had heavy metal playing while a bunch of CGI characters get abducted by aliens. I don't remember the name of the song or who the artist was, obviously, so does anyone think they have an idea of what I'm talking about?

R and B song in the early 90s Music
A guy is singing about loosing his girl. Its an R and B song and he appears to be singing in a barn with his group. We get flashbacks abot the guy and his girl and things start off well. Happy times. Something goes wrong and she literally runs away from their home. All I remember is part of the chorus Ill bet my bottom dollar , that your not thinking about me. Anymore. Longshot , but the songs been bugging me for a while.
A song that made it onto the country top 40 in spring 2006 Music
In spring 2006 I heard part of the (I assume official) country top 40 countdown while on vacation. One of the first few songs(likely something that didn't peak much higher) was something I never heard again. I feel like the verses were almost talking. Male singer. Was about a conversation with a girl who wasn't into country music. In the part I remember, the narrator asked the girl if she had ever heard of Alan Jackson, she said something like "Didn't he sing Where Were You?", and he says something about him being a legend or classic, and she says "Really? I thought he was new." This has been driving me crazy for years, but hopefully won't be that hard to find. Thanks.
An old country song "___ the glass"? Music
When I was a kid my mom played this song a few times that feels like it doesn't exist. It was an old country song (70s or earlier), sounded old and soft, male singer. I could have sworn it was by someone really famous. I swear the title was a word I can't remember followed by 'the glass'. Pretty sure it was a slow and possibly sad song. Any idea what this was? Thanks.

Song with spoken-ish intro containing Music
Edit: Here is my Vocaroo link: https://vocaroo.com/i/s1OQv2reX4Hd
This has been bugging me a lot for a while and I can't remember enough lyrics for Google to help. This is possibly something ultra obvious, but possibly not. I keep thinking of some song, probably rock, if not, then metal or pop. It has some kind of intro part that is either spoken or semi-spoken, containing something along the lines of "They're stepping out into the night" or "stepping out through the night". I just know that there is absolutely line or two ending in "the night". I am almost completely certain that part is NOT repeated through the song, or directly related to the title. Almost certain it is a male singer, likely with a high voice. I feel like this is from sometime between the '70s and the '00s, likely leaning towards '80s most likely. Could be almost any kind of rock (possibly pop), but if it turns out to be something on the obscure-ish or really forgotten side, then is likely hair metal, but really unsure. Really hope this isn't ultra hard to find. I'm sure I heard this at least a few times within the last couple of years. Also, I think the intro part I almost remember lyrics to was set to ambient sounds or something before the real music kicked in (maybe).

A country song from 2005 or 2006 Music
I remember hearing a song on country radio for a while, really wanna say around earlier 2006(maybe later 2005?). All I remember is that it was a male singer and the subject matter was about having a wife or girlfriend who drinks more than he does. It was not Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off. Thanks.
A song I heard on country radio for a while around 2003 Music
I remember hearing a song on country radio for a little while around 2003ish that I haven't heard since, and can't find. Felt like it was a current song. It was a ballad. Almost certain it had a male singer. The thing that stood out about it to me was that there were lyrics(feel like in the first verse?) about heart and I think other organs. Part of me feels it's possible I'm actually miss-remembering hearing part of (the decade-ish older) Don't Take The Girl by Tim Mc Graw, but I feel this is very doubtful, but maybe possible. Thanks.
Vocaloid song/PV Music
I remember a Vocaloid song/PV from a long time ago I was never able to find again. I first heard it on a flipnote on flipnote hatena, then found the PV on youtube. Since the original DS flipnote hatena site was deactivated, I can’t backtrack... so this was several years ago, maybe 8 or 9?
The song was kind of chill sounding, no powerful chorus or loud beat. It was probably sung by Miku, but I can’t say for sure. The PV was mostly grayscale, except that the girl character was collecting organs, and these were multicolored and bright. It was NOT a horror song though; it was metaphorical (or a light sci fi) and the animation design was too flat and simple to be scary or gross. She collected these colorful organs in jars in a lab, and carried around a scalpel. That’s all I remember for sure, she may have been confronted by a male character in the end? And I think the organs had a moving texture to add to their color.
I’m not sure why I can’t find this video/song anywhere, it wasn’t very popular but it was unique and had a “15 minutes of fame” in the Vocaloid and flipnote communities, so to speak. This has been bugging me for years, please help if you can!
What’s this soundtrack? Music
Whats the soundtrack from 3:20-3:30? I think it’s from neir automata,https://youtu.be/vEwFDH3M57g
English Prog Album - 70s Music
I heard this album months ago, enjoyed it but forgot the name. It had a black and white cover with a demon on it, had a song with a woman's name (Ellen? Eleanor?) and made heavy use of violins on that song. Want to say it had a demonic band name too. I've been racking my brain, thanks!
What's this song, please? Music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkoGBOs5ecM
This is someone's analysis of why Sherlock is not actually any good and looks at some of Stephen Moffat's other work and concludes he's a hack.
But that's not the point here - my question is, what is the song you hear a brief snatch of at 47:06?
Music videos names i can't remember Music
Pop and House hits of 2016 and 2017. The first one is House music and shows a girl walking in a high grass and she becomes a vampire at night. The second music video shows two girls holding eachother's hands and dancing on the outside of a building near the sea. Please, name them for me and thanks.
No Title Music
I once over heard a song at work which had a lyric something like "there is going to be a Accident better call an Ambulance". But they pronounced it more like "HAX-ident" and they pronouced "Ambulance" oddly as well. They definately over stressed the first syllable in each word. I think by the end of the song it just him saying those two words over and over. The way he pronounced HA Xident has been stuck in my head for a decade.
It probally was something clubish. Would have been around 2005, give or take. I think the song was about someone's lover cheating on them and there going to be an "accident" when he catches them.
I think the person who was listening to it told me the singer was a rediculously tall, thin, drag queen.
Music video - woman falls from skyscraper Music
When I was a young child (early 2000s) I remember seeing a music video on television in which a woman was walking along a ledge on a tall building. She wasn't on the roof as there were still windows behind her but the ledge was narrow, and she slipped. The rest is hazy but I think a man came to try to help her, but she let go with her hands. I also think that the remainder of the video cut between her falling and her trying not to lose her grip.
Song mentioning Raindrops Music
I'm trying to remember a song, I think it was free on iTunes years ago. I think the chorus talks about "seeing(*or maybe hearing?*)raindrops(*or possible teardrops?*) on the windows, wondering how they fall" or something to that effect. There's also a lyric about seeing a friend at a funeral, and seeing them glance at their watch. Super vague, I know. The album art was also bright green with black text, very simple. Can anyone help me out? I keep thinking the song is called skemthing like falling stars or shooting stars (not that meme song)

Song with female singer, acoustic guitar, and some sort of light percussion Music
The song I'm looking for is probably played on adult contemporary stations a lot. I remember first hearing it on an AC radio station my mom would listen to. The other day I heard it at the grocery store where I work. I can only remember these three details: -The singer is a woman -The instrumentation is mostly just an acoustic guitar and some light percussion -The refrain has the line "I want you to stay" or "Won't you stay"
Other than that, I'm betting it was recorded sometime between 1990 and 2003.
